Less than $5 3rd Grade Social Emotional Learning Resources (by price, low to high)

Transform your classroom into a haven of tranquility with our "Calm Down Corner Pass." A calm down corner empowers students to self regulate and manage their emotions effectively, fostering a supportive and compassionate learning environment. Perfect for Year 3-6 students, a Calm Down Corner is designed to seamlessly integrate into your classroom routine, providing a structured approach to emotional wellbeing.

• Empowers Self-Regulation: Encourages students to recognise their emotions and take proactive steps to calm down, promoting self awareness and emotional intelligence.
• Easy to Use: Simply hand out the pass to a student who needs a break. The pass grants them access to a designated calm down area where they can relax and regroup.
• Promotes Positive Behaviour: Reinforces positive behaviour by providing a safe space for students to manage their emotions without disrupting the class.
• Durable Design: Laminate and ensure the pass withstands daily classroom use.

How to Use:

1. Introduce the Pass: Explain the purpose and benefits of the Calm Down Corner Pass to your students. Make sure they understand when and how to use it.
2. Designate a Calm Down Area: Set up a quiet, comfortable space in your classroom with calming resources like mindful coloring sheets, sensory tools, and relaxation prompts.
3. Distribute the Pass: When a student feels overwhelmed, they can ask for the pass. You can also offer it proactively if you notice a student struggling.
4. Time for Reflection: Allow the student to spend a few minutes in the calm down area to relax and regain focus.
5. Positive Reinforcement: After the break, engage in a brief conversation with the student about their feelings and reinforce the positive choice they made.

Creating a calm and supportive classroom atmosphere is essential for fostering student wellbeing and academic success. A calm down corner, designed well, is a simple yet effective tool to help students manage stress and emotions, leading to a more harmonious and productive learning environment.

Community building activities come in handy at the start of the year... and beyond! This activity focuses on not only working together and building community, but also allows students opportunity to practice active listening skills with a focus on listening to understand and absorb information rather than listening to respond. This activity is great for the basics of get to know you and team building questions, but could also be used to answer more academic-based questions as well. It is fun, interactive, and engaging, which offers a fun change of pace to the classroom!

Are you looking for an easy way to improve student behaviors? This is a fun, easy, print and go activity.

I use the secret missions with my students. Simply print the packet, cut out, and post the missions in your room (be sure to cover each mission with a "secret mission" card".

Then the magic begins. Each morning during your morning meeting time chose a kiddo to uncover a mission. Discuss the mission, the importance of it, what it looks like. I generally have a secret task force who also watches for the behaviors. Then when your children are "caught" they earn a party point/tally/ball (whatever reinforcer you use) for your class. Currently my kids are working to earn hot chocolate with toppings.

I hope this is something fun for you and your kiddos. Please be sure to follow me for additional resources and updates!

Roll a Story

Are your students struggling to be respectful during a classroom lesson - talking, blurting, and other things going on instead of listening respectfully? This lesson puts the students right in those shoes and gives them a glimpse into what that can be like. Not only is it engaging (and kind of silly) but impactful and real. Everything needed for your next leadership lesson is included in the download!

Looking for other ways to discuss impact? See below!

Promoting Self-Control - The Impact of our Words + Actions (Elementary)

Kindness Activity - The Impact of our Words (Middle School)

The Impact of our Words (High School)

Order up! This adorable activity puts a focus on gratitude and thankfulness - perfect for the fall season! "Spice" it up and instruct students to decorate their "personalized order" anyway that they'd like. You could do so much with this activity - incorporate life skills by asking students to order their own drink, intertwine creativity by asking them to incorporate their own special ingredients into their drink, and then, of course, "fill it up" with all of the things that they are grateful and thankful for! So sweet and fun! This would also make a cute bulletin board as well.

If you are looking for a fun, engaging, and interactive activity for your elementary students - this is for you!! This activity gets students working together, up and moving around, while they also practice perseverance, self-control, patience, and so much more! Add academic questions to each of the "snowballs" that they must answer to finish the race and watch all of the learning happen! So. Much. Fun!

"Building" a safe, healthy, and happy learning environment starts with the people that we share it with! In this activity, students take on the opportunity of working effectively with others, thinking creatively, communicating respectfully, and cooperation with others all built into one activity! This is a blast for the whole class - all while focusing on so many important SEL skills. This activity includes minimal preparation yet all the benefits of so many social emotional learning skills to build (pun intended!) My students did not want this activity to end!!

Looking for more interactive activities to do with your class? Check out the links below!

Kindness Activity - The Impact of our Words (Upper Elementary)

Kindness "Hot Potato" - Interactive SEL Lesson (Multiple Grade Levels)

Leadership Activity - "Jumping Ships!" (Upper Elementary)

A "Pocket" Full of Kindness - An SEL Activity that focuses on kindness and the idea that you can take it with you wherever you go and "pull it right out of your back pocket" as the saying goes!! This activity is great for younger elementary students who are getting an introduction to all things kindness and all of the different ways that they can show kindness to others! For this activity, you will need string and scissor to help make it the most successful! My students LOVED being able to put their very own pocket together! I love the hands-on lessons as much as they do!

Know Your Impact Activity (High School)

Practice GRATITUDE along with so much more with this activity - writing, spelling, organization, healthy competition, creativity, and much more! This activity is ready to use for whatever your students may benefit from most! Set a timer and see who can list the most items, use it as a follow up activity after introducing gratitude, practice writing and spelling all of the things that mean the most to your students! Both color and black and white version included for easy printing! Once completed, hang up in your classroom, in lockers, or keep in their desks for reflection and gratitude reminders throughout the season OR do a follow up list toward the end of the season and see if their lists grow as they start to be more intentional on identifying things to be grateful for!!
